[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does a very good school mean to your son? [b]The very top schools don't offer merit aid-- does that mean they are not options? Ron Lieber, The Price You Pay For College, may be a good read. [/b]He encourages parents to have frank convos with their kids... it's not about being a tiger mom, but you can be honest about how academic performance can be tied to aid offers, and what your hopes/expectations are. Best of luck.[/quote] +100. This. If getting merit to your flagship is needed, that is one thing. If you are saying getting 20-30K in merit to a private college and you can pay 40-50K, likely they have to be willing to go a tier down in prestige and watch friends apply ED to schools that are either need-based only aid and/or take a large percentage in ED and be fine that they can’t go that route despite having great grades.
